Well here we go again more taxes to help pay for all this free stuff, yeah right. Nothing is free. They think people don't notice this.

Actually, maybe we should just go on and be a social country with social benefits and healthcare. Heck, Scandanavian countries get manditory 30 days vacation, France has 35 hr work week or is that 32???? I say we are becoming the idiots here, fighting for Capitalism and so dead set against socialism because we have been programmed to believe it is wrong and our way is better, but they are democratic countries.......Maybe we do have things in a mix and need to rethink the entire siutation. More taxes????? when we get down to it, we are gonna be paying MORE taxes than other countries who have MORE benefits....hmmmmmmmmm

Rush was talking about this yesterday. They tax sugar, they won`t stop with just that. What`s next?

TEA PARTY JULY 4TH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will soon be a rebel with a cause, TEA PARTY JULY 4th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
